DC Daily Weather

The other day I wanted to check out average daily temperatures weather in the DC area, and there was a surprising lack of good visualizations at the day-level. I poked around and found NOAA publishes daily climate data from a large number of monitoring stations from around the country. The website was a bit of a pain, and I didn’t feel like navigating their API, so I just put in an order for daily weather from a tracking station at the National Arboretum. I threw the results in plotly, and decided this would be a good chance to see if I can embed an html object created in plotly to my slowly developing blog.

Below (hopefully) is a graph showing median and average high and median low temperatures by day from 1948-2017 from the GHCND:USC00186350_`https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/NORMAL_ANN/stations/GHCND:USC00186350/detail`
